For the moment, no one is reported to have died, and that is a blessing to end an otherwise terrible day. The challenge now will not be to rebuild the structure but what it represented: the security, the safety, the eternity...

Maybe the writer of the article ought to study miracles and news wires a little more. All things considered, the place looks miraculously intact. The pulpit and most of the pews survived, to begin with.

Notre Dame symbolizes Europe in that the loss and the destruction of Notre Dame is a representation of the loss and destruction of Europe.

I sincerely hope it will be rebuilt and restored. But whether or not France and all of Europe will ever return to its former glory is in serious doubt.

[Deaf Smith]

Structural integrity is gone.

It will have to be torn down and rebuilt as a mosque to show that the people of Paris are tolerant.

[Steely Tom]

he fall of Notre Dame is a body blow to Paris and all it represents

Similar to the sinking of HMS Hood at the Battle of the Denmark Strait in May, 1941.

We warned you, Paris. We warned you over and over, but you were too proud to listen. You doubled down on the open door policies. Even when neighborhood cars were burned, wrecked or had tires slashed, you ignored it. Even when the French Jews started to move out of your country, nothing constructive really changed.
You and much of Germany are stuck with all these ‘refugees’ who would love to slit your throats while chanting from their Unholy Book.

It didn’t “fall” any more than the kid in the Mall of America the other day.

What’s their angle here?

Which is exactly why so many people are immediately thinking islamic terrorism.

Wouldn’t it just be a kick in the teeth if this started a revival?

A video is being circulated allegedly showing a Muslim-dressed man inside Notre-Dame around the time of the fire. I’ll post the link here (sorry, I don’t know how to html it). I really don’t know if this is legit or not.

Street vendors selling cigarette lighters is the shape of Notre Dame in 3,2,1....

[RightGeek]

[YogicCowboy]

Most of the leaders of Europe are traitors who want it to fall to Islam.

[arthurus]

It even has Twin Towers.

[TalBlack]

The Spirit that inspired the Cathedral can die in damn near every heart in France without a wimper but a building burns and everyone laments it’s passing..

[Alas Babylon!]

[Svartalfiar]

To have lived in Paris in recent years is to be well acquainted with loss and even unspeakable tragedy. The killing of 12 people in the attack at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo after a morning meeting in January 2015. The bombings and shootings that claimed 130 people at the national stadium, the Bataclan concert hall and on random cafe terraces near the Canal Saint-Martin. The killings of two elderly Jewish women — one hurled from her apartment window. The omnipresence of armed guards at any site where crowds may gather.

Hm. And I'm guessing the author can't quite grasp what, exactly, all these have in common?
